Funny how the mind works. I originally said Tesla, because they covered "Signs" (with the lyric of the guy with hair applying for a job).
I know this isn't about that but I fucking loathe "Signs." Biggest piece of pretentious, self-righteous, hippie crap spat out since "American Woman."

I know Zevon covered it, but can't think of any other hair band other than Guns<br />

So i put my hair up under my hat and went in to ask him why. He said you look like a fine outstanding young man, i think you'll do. So i took off my hat and said "imagine that, me working for you".....somthing like that</p>
